Pulse was founded in May 2010 by Akshay Kothari and Ankit Gupta, two graduate students at Stanford's acclaimed d.school. What began as a class assignment quickly turned into a true passion project, as the two worked tirelessly to revolutionize the mobile news reading experience.

The result is an app that has garnered praise from Steve Jobs, won the prestigious Apple Design Award, was named one of TIME's top 50 apps of 2011, and more. Now with over 20 million users (and adding more than a million new users every month), Pulse has solidified its place at the forefront of the modern news industry.
